» ironclad 0.30

I've released Ironclad version 0.30; you can get it from the
usual place. This version features several performance improvements
for x86oid SBCL, as well as an optimized implementation of MD5 for
Lispworks. The usual assortment of bugs have been fixed, including some
packaging and reader bugs, and there have been a few convenience
functions added for various things.

This version of Ironclad is the first to depend on nibbles, a library
for accessing “machine word”-sized data in various forms,
either from vectors or streams.

Please note that various bits of Ironclad and nibbles depend on
“recent” versions of SBCL; I believe the first version of
SBCL that supports the necessary features is about a year old at this
point. If you haven't upgraded, let this release serve as a perfect
impetus to do so.
